New Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko has all the attributes needed to help bolster their attack, manager Ruben Amorim said as he hopes to unlock the 22-year-old Slovenian’s full potential after his big-money move to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Sesko completed his 76.5-million-euro ($89-million) switch from German side RB Leipzig to United on Saturday, with a further 8.5 million euros in bonuses.<\/p>\n
He signed a contract until 2030 to complete a new-look front three alongside fellow close-season signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.<\/p>\n
The Slovenia international, capped 41 times, scored 39 goals in 87 appearances across all competitions for Leipzig.<\/p>\n
“He has the characteristics that we needed,” Amorim told MUTV on Saturday. “Ben is a player – with all the information that we have – that we need to stop the guy from working, not the opposite!<\/p>\n
“So that is also important. He’s really young. He’s good in the air, he’s good at running the channels, good on the ball. I think he has great potential. I think he can improve a lot and, for sure, he is going to feel at home in our club.<\/p>\n
“He has the right character to be in this group, so I’m really happy to have him.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
